2 STEEMBreaking News, this contest is now sponsored by @verbal-d and the lovely and kind @soldier, and they support good projects, want to strengthen our community and give back to our poets. We are grateful for their contribution and commitment to us.
Also, I just found out today that both of them have their birthday, so Happy Birthday to you both, enjoy your day. Happy New Years to everyone else.
Due to the high volatility of SBD we will now be rewarding the winners in STEEM.
We have to move with the times and the STEEM

that's a great photo you snagged for this, @steemitgraven29. I love Oaks when their limbs spread out like that. Great Haiku to represent it.
I love tress, so we understand and liked this Haiku...
Good LuckWelcome @steemitgraven29
I really like oaks too! All trees for that matter.
This is my entry:
Christmas buzz is done.
Still peace comes at last for me
To think on the One.

Stick around one should.
Loyalty is very important... it was a pleasure to read

His Love
The sun lights the day
then sets. But he, lights my world
always......he sets not.
This is a very poetic poem about God. We enjoyed it.

Death
From the deep, it rose
With hands cold, an empty soul
The harvest was here....death
We enjoyed this very deep Haiku about death...
Good LuckWelcome @gamsam
@moonleesteem my first ever post to steem :) (not sure if i tagged you properly)
Search for inner peace,
In cracks between the flagstones,
Find nothing but weeds.
We enjoyed this very spiritual Haiku... about peace.
Good LuckWelcome, @badluckmiles
Colors achingly vivid
Please, just one more day
The Last hour... A pleasure to read.
